I agree with this and support this statement.

I strongly support strategic gaps and hope that NSC uphold their previous commitment to this .

Nailsea Town Council reiterates its existing policy as follows: * To support a realignment of the green belt boundary to support employment development at the north east side of the town. * To extend the area already proposed to be removed from the green belt on the north east of the town to utilise this land for leisure and residential development as well as employment. * To ensure that infrastructure is not a constraint, to support the construction of an access road from the Bristol Road to

A strategic gap should be kept between Portbury and Portishead, Weston and Clevedon, Long Ashton and Ashton.    

The Council feels that Strategic Gaps are essential in the north of the district to maintain the individual character of each town/settlement, and to allow all towns/settlements to be self-contained, and not simply continuations of the City of Bristol.  Maintenance of the Green Belt as in CS6 is essential for this – the two policies are interlinked.  

the field is between a garage and a retail development and as such the strip between Locking and the A371 is compromised as a strategic gap.  It would also be unfair to the owner due its previous developed use.
